Pokemon DLC is Unlikely for X and Y

Deus Ex Director’s Cut Has Performance Problems, Needs Regedit Fixes
Thinking of picking up the Deus Ex Director's Cut? It's probably worth knowing that people with some pretty powerful rigs are finding the game runs terribly at times, with frame rate drops where there definitely shouldn't be.
